It's easy :
Create a new printer For the port you have to choose FILE

From Word, juste print using this new printer. Windows just ask for a name
of file ...



The quality of your PS file depend of the selected printer driver (so you can try more than one driver :-)

Objet : [hylafax-users] Conversion to postscript using ActiveX or some
other means


Hello,


I've read through the mailing list archives on this topic, but still would like to hear from anyone who has successfully implemented a solution to convert microsoft word or other such documents to postscript on the fly. We are trying to develop a fax web service that would allow users to send any type of file, and an idea I've heard proposed was to use an ActiveX control to simulate printing such documents to a file using a postscript printer driver. Has anyone been or heard of someone being successful doing such a thing? I would great appreciate any help, as the wvWare and other such conversion programs are just not of high enough quality to use. I know it is ideal to have users do the conversion themselves from a given application, but we are doing this under the concept of a web service with the idea of application independence in mind.

Thanks in advance for any help-

Kyle

Some users, including myself, have had trouble with the drivers for HP postscript printers that come with Windows. These drivers appear to generate postscript output that Hylafax can't understand. As a result, your fax doesn't go anywhere, and Hylafax's log shows a fax of 0 pages in length. However, the Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS driver works fine.
